SD, standard deviation

aDuration of exposure (days) = date of last anabolic drug prescription fill plus supply days − index date. Duration of Exposure (months) = duration of exposure (days)/30. The maximum treatment duration is set as 570 days (or 19 months, 18 months plus 30-day follow-up) if a patient was treated longer than 570 days

bAccording to product label, one abaloparatide pen has a 30-day supply; one teriparatide pen has a 28-day supply. Count as 2 pens if day’s supply is between 56 and 60; count as 3 pens if day’s supply is between 84 and 90

cCumulative treatment duration is the sum of all days from index date to the last drug supply date regardless of treatment gap

dConsecutive treatment duration is sum of all days from index date to the last study drug supply without any gap exceeding 60 days
